    I would go to the doctor, but that's me. Does he seem okay? Is he dizzy, complaining of a headache, crying non stop? The only reason I'd go to the doctor is to rule out concussion, but a call to the doctor may be enough. It depends on the extent of the injury, since I can't see it I can't say for sure. Sorry.

    Sorry, I'm in Canada, so I don't know the number.

    The main thing with a head injury is to make sure he doesn't have concussion. Here's a link listing the symptoms of concussion and some helpful tips on what to do and what to look out for.

    No problem, that's what we're here for. If you do notice any of the symptoms then get him to the doctor immediately. Let me know if you need anything else. :)

    Take care.

    I remember my daughter falling off a chair outise and smashing her fore head on the concrete floor the bump was huge and I just freaked out and rushed her to the doctors. Of course she was fine and no damage done thankfully the head is hard wearing x Just keep a close on him but I am sure he will be fine , the doctor recommended calpol in case of headache/pain due to the bump . Do not worry too much there will be many more bumps to follow x
